In this video I am going to answer a question that a male and female student have asked me within a few days of each other. It is the following: both want to reinforce their reading. They have read, naturally. They are people who invest in culture and training. They are professionals with university studies, but in branches very far removed from literature. Therefore, each one in their own way wonders if they lack the systematicity that a structured reading program like the one you can be offered in a Philology course provides. The reason that moves them is the same: they are writers and they have realized how important reading is to feed writing. I have been very struck by the coincidences and that is why I thought it was urgent to record this video. I am thinking of my writer students, but the recommendations are valid for any reader who wants to broaden their horizons. In addition, it is a very frequent question: what to read. I often receive it. Readers of all levels ask themselves this question, and rightly so. There is such an overabundance of titles these days that everyone feels lost. There is only so much time left for all the books one would like to read. And in this sense, the e-book is both a blessing and a punishment. The wonder of the e-book is that it allows you to instantly access any title from anywhere in the world. In addition, the problem of out-of-print books disappears: they are all available permanently. But that is what makes our work pile up: the pile of pending books becomes practically infinite. Therefore, the technique of selecting readings has made sense in all times, but in ours it becomes urgent. It is no coincidence that the students who have asked me are writers. It is a fundamental question for literary creation: writing and reading are two sides of the same coin. The same impulse that moves you to write drives you to read what others have written. For this reason, a successful selection of readings becomes a source of inspiration and artistic and intellectual growth. It also saves you from constantly discovering the Mediterranean. One does not write in the same way from a position of naivety as one does from a foundation. That foundation is what you get from carefully selected readings. I studied Hispanic Philology and then did a doctorate, and it is true that the degree offered me a systematic, structured and sequenced overview of literature in the Spanish language; but I also confess that the faculties of philology are probably the place where most writers have perished before becoming great. One day perhaps I will talk about this. Now I do not want to distract myself from the question that brought us here: what to read.
